项目摘要
Abstract
Repeat-expansion disorders are a collection of more than 40 rare but devastating diseases that largely effect
the central nervous system. Currently, they are incurable. The genetic basis for these disorders is repeat
expansions, the length of which determines disease severity and age of onset. In these disorders, repeat
sequences cause pathology in a multimodal fashion. The translation of repeats located in coding regions can
disrupt normal protein function and produce toxic repeat peptides. These neurotoxic peptides can be produced
even when the repeats are in noncoding regions via repeat associated non-AUG translation. Another agent of
pathology is the repeat RNA transcript itself, where aberrant binding of the repeat RNA to RNA-binding proteins
leads to issues like deregulation of the miRNA machinery, aberrant translation, and mis-splicing events. Repeat
RNAs also enable transcripts to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and form nuclear RNA foci in
cells. These foci can sequester RNA-binding proteins, which may contribute to the observed repeat RNA toxicity.
It has been well established that RNA helicases regulate the formation of phase separated ribonucleoprotein
(RNP) granules in cells, but no work exists to understand how helicases affect the RNA foci in repeat-expansion
disorders. Considering first that repeat RNAs cause potentially pathological RNA foci and that second, helicases
are important for the formation of other cellular RNP granules, we hypothesize that RNA helicases can also
modulate the formation of RNA foci in repeat-expansion disorders. The proposed work is focused on the
deleterious RNA foci that form in the repeat-expansion disorders caused by CAG trinucleotide expansions like
Huntington’s Disease and several spinocerebellar ataxias. This proposed study aims to identify RNA helicases
that modulate these deleterious RNA foci and understand the mechanism by which they do so. Knockout screens
in human HAP1 cells expressing CAG repeat constructs which form RNA foci have identified candidate RNA
helicases that affect RNA foci size and number. This work will utilize in vitro approaches to understand the
mechanism underlying how these candidate helicases effect RNA foci. After the recent failure of two candidate
therapies for Huntington’s Disease in clinical trials, it is especially necessary to consider new therapeutic targets
for these disorders. This work will expand our understanding of RNA helicase function in repeat-expansion
disorders and offer a new therapeutic tool to explore for combatting these diseases.
The proposed fellowship will be conducted at the University of Pennsylvania in the lab of Dr. James Shorter, a
leading researcher in the molecular basis of neurodegenerative diseases and protein disaggregases. Completion
of the proposal in this lab will provide rigorous training in biochemical assay design and in vitro protein and RNA
handling techniques.
摘要
重复扩展障碍是40多种罕见但毁灭性疾病的集合,
中枢神经系统目前,他们是无法治愈的。这些疾病的遗传基础是重复
扩张,其长度决定疾病的严重程度和发病年龄。在这些疾病中,重复
序列以多模式方式引起病理。位于编码区的重复序列的翻译可以
破坏正常蛋白质功能并产生有毒重复肽。这些神经毒性肽可以在
即使当重复序列通过重复序列相关的非AUG翻译位于非编码区时。之另一名代理
病理是重复RNA转录本本身,其中重复RNA与RNA结合蛋白的异常结合
导致了诸如miRNA机制失调、异常翻译和错误剪接事件等问题。重复
RNA还使转录物能够经历液-液相分离(LLPS)并在细胞核中形成核RNA灶。
细胞这些病灶可以隔离RNA结合蛋白,这可能有助于观察到的重复RNA毒性。
RNA解旋酶调节相分离的核糖核蛋白的形成
(RNP)细胞中的颗粒,但目前还没有研究来了解解旋酶如何影响重复扩增中的RNA焦点
紊乱首先考虑重复RNA会导致潜在的病理性RNA病灶,其次考虑解旋酶
对于其他细胞RNP颗粒的形成是重要的,我们假设RNA解旋酶也可以
调节重复扩增疾病中RNA灶的形成。拟议工作的重点是
在CAG三核苷酸扩增引起的重复扩增障碍中形成的有害RNA灶,
亨廷顿病和几种脊髓小脑共济失调。本研究旨在鉴定RNA解旋酶
来调节这些有害的RNA灶,并了解它们这样做的机制。淘汰筛
在表达CAG重复构建体的人HAP 1细胞中,所述CAG重复构建体形成RNA灶,
影响RNA焦点大小和数量的解旋酶。这项工作将利用体外方法来了解
这些候选解旋酶如何影响RNA焦点的潜在机制。在最近两名候选人失败后,
在临床试验中,尤其需要考虑新的治疗靶点
治疗这些疾病这项工作将扩大我们对RNA解旋酶在重复扩增中功能的理解
并提供了一种新的治疗工具,以探索对抗这些疾病。
拟议的奖学金将在宾夕法尼亚大学的James Shorter博士的实验室进行,
